8N Ford lift arms not going up

My 8N Ford lift arms used to lift the chains to my 5' belly mower just fine, but the last few years they don't seem to have the power to lift really at all. I haven't used this old girl much at all the last 3-4 years.

Would this likely be a symptom of new packing needed on some internal lift cylinder, or needing a new hydraulic pump, or both? OR some other issue (hydraulic filter, etc.?) Where would one start in diagnosing a fix? How big of a project is each of these?

TIA,

Tom
 
First thing I would do is remove the inspection plate on the right side, start it up and see what condition the fluid is in and check for leaks running down from the cylinder.
